Writing on cover?

[melmoth]

Hi,

 

Could you please explain the policy on when to note writing on the cover? For example:

vs.

The writing, at least to me, seems equally obtrusive. Yet it is mentioned in one and not the other.

Okay, so we have here a Daredevil #9 CGC 7.0 Universal with the grading text reading, "'6-4' written on cover in grease pencil." vs. a X-Men #64 CGC 9.0 Universal with a visible grease pencil date "11/18" on the cover in the logo.

 

As was reported in CBG earlier this year, we stopped noting writing on cover, in this case "'6-4' written on cover in grease pencil." because people thought the notes on the label meant that it was a QUALIFIED grade. Even if it was in the Universal label, it was still causing confusion. After many, many requests, we changed the policy.

 

The Daredevil #9 was pre-change, and the X-Men #64 was post-change. That is the only difference. Under our current policy I would not put "'6-4' written on cover in grease pencil." on the label. Hope that helps.
